This is a nice box of pre-sharpened pencils for games where you just want pencils for everyone to be able to write answers etc. They will sharpen but are so short that often the sharpner will eat what remains of the pencil. But they are a good value for those times when a writing instrument is needed and you don't want or need to spend a lot of money providing them.

My wife uses these pencils in her job as a middle school band teacher. She has over 200 students in her bands and goes through quite a few pencils in a year's time. She was very glad to find out that Staples has these available. I buy all of my office supplies at Staples so it's very convenient for us to get these pencils when she needs more.

We use these pencils for our youth visitors on the USS IOWA tours and had to buy more since they keep disappearing. Points don't break off easily and we can always depend on their quality. Comes in very adequate quantities too.
